We were especially keen to get a podcast episode out on the day z17 was announced, having both worked on the launch project in various capacities. So, for once there was a deadline – which we actually made. It was a pleasure to record this, with almost every piece of it related to z17. SoContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 36 “Telum Like It Is””

Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 35 “In Search Of EXCELence?”
As usual it’s taken us longer than we would like. The usual problem of finding planning and recording slots we can both make applies. But I think the episode turned out well. It was certainly fun to make. So here are the show notes.

Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 34 “Homeward Bound”
We started planning this one quite a while ago. Thankfully our topics tend to be evergreen – in that they’re still topical for quite a while. In that vein I know we are gaining new listeners and they aren’t all starting with the latest episode. Anyway, our schedules have been their usual hectic selves –Continue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 34 “Homeward Bound””
Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 33 “These Boots Were Made”
I hope you can tell that Marna and I had a lot of fun making this episode. I can’t recall which of us came up with the cultural reference. But it sort of developed – until the aftershow was sort of inevitable. Anyhow here are the show notes for Episode 33. The podcast series isContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 33 “These Boots Were Made””
Like You Know?
Three recent events led to this blog post: I was driving a while back and listening to podcasts. Two in particular by highly experienced podcasters who are very articulate. Meanwhile I’d just completed editing a podcast episode of my own. (This was Episode 32, which you might have listened to already.) And a few weeksContinue reading “Like You Know?”
Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 32 “Scott Free”
Episode 32 was, as always a slow train coming. I think it’s a fun one – as well as being informative. It was really good to have Scott back, and we recorded in the Poughkeepsie studio, just after SHARE Atlanta, March 2023. Talking of which, the aftershow relates to SHARE. It’s a classic example ofContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 32 “Scott Free””
Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 31 “Take It To The Macs”
This is the first blog post I’ve written on my new work MacBook Pro. While it’s been a lot of work moving over it’s a better place as it’s an Apple Silicon M1 Max machine with lots of memory and disk space. That’s nice, but what’s the relevance to podcasting? Well, it’s very warm hereContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 31 “Take It To The Macs””
Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 30 “Choices Choices”
It’s been a mighty long time since Marna and I got a podcast episode out – and actually we started planning this episode long ago. It’s finding good times to record that does it to us, as planning can be a bit more asynchronous. Hopefully this delay has enabled some of you to catch upContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 30 “Choices Choices””
Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 29 “Hello Trello”
This was a fun episode to make, not least because it featured as a guest Miroslava Barahona Rossi. She’s one of my mentees from Brasil and she’s very good. We made it over a period of a few weeks, fitting around unusually busy “day job” schedules for Marna and I. And this one is oneContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 29 “Hello Trello””
Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 28 “The Preview That We Do Anew”
(Originally posted 2 March, 2021.) It’s unusual for us to publish a podcast episode with a specific deadline in mind. But we thought the z/OS 2.5 Preview announcement was something we could contribute to. So, here we are. I also wanted to talk about some Open Source projects I’ve been contributing to. So that’s inContinue reading “Mainframe Performance Topics Podcast Episode 28 “The Preview That We Do Anew””
